Ghoul (Barrowmaze)

Average Lair: 4-24
Treasure Type: (E, M)
Abilities:
Immunity (Fear, Sleep, and Charm)
Intensity 2
Venomous: Ghoul Venom. Claw and bite attacks that get through armour causing at least 1 point of damage inject a venom into the victim’s bloodstream. This venom is a simple paralytic poison to render prey immobile whilst it is eaten alive.
Application: Injection
Potency: 58
Resistance: Endurance
Onset time: Immediate Paralysis in location struck. If the location struck is the head or chest, the victim suffers immediate total paralysis; otherwise, it takes 1d3 Rounds to spread through the circulatory system and cause total paralysis.
Duration: 1d6+2 minutes
Conditions: If not resisted, the venom acts as a muscle relaxant, immobilising the area struck and soon spreading to the rest of the body. Somewhat cruelly, it does nothing to stop the sensation of pain.
Antidote/Cure: A prophylactic brewed from local herbs is known to tribal shamans, which makes the Endurance roll to resist the venom one step easier. If this is overcome, however, the victim must still wait out the entire duration to recover. Neutralize Poison spells or potions have their normal effect.
